VINTAGE PLYWOOD

Home / VINTAGE

WonderWood once started with collecting vintage plywood chairs. Plywood furniture is still today our main focus. Plywood is popular made in the thirties, forties and fifties, used by many influential and iconic architects and designers. The word Plywood stands for: layers of veneer first glued together and later brought into shapes by different methods of moulding. Plywood gives furniture a simple, but stylish modern and organic timeless look. Some of these plywood icons are true museum pieces.
